Why?
Have you SEEN all the random 1-question topics in Suggestions and Help? :\
This topic should be stickied, so that all n00bs with a stupid question like "how do I load wads lol" can post it here, instead of making a new thread about it, and then 2 weeks later another thread about it.
And, oh ya, to answer most of your questions:

I've got a SOC based question, is there anyway to make custom enemies move exactly like the Skim?

 

[SSNTails]

Skim uses the standard A_Chase action, but it's a special case in the sense that it will only travel on water.

So no, there is no way to do it... right now, anyway.

 

[BlazingPhoenix]

I've got a question: can somebody make an Enemy-making tutorial? :P

 

[Hyperknux]

I've also got a question to answer

When making/ releasing levels how do you get all of the levels into one wad / DOS batch file I've made some levels but I don't know how to get all levels in one wad. They are named MAP01 and that because I'm making a level pack :?

If anyone knows could you please tell me

cheers

Could someone possibly post the lump names for the special music, eg title, special stage, super sonic, etc.

 

[Rob]

No.

But you CAN use XWE to find what ones you're looking for.

 

[Mystic]

You can use Wintex and DeepSea to merge the WADs together pretty easily. Personally, I suggest DeepSea. Hit F7, and go into "Merge/Import", and just merge them all together. Don't forget to rename the maps to MAP02, MAP03, etc.

 

[Hyper Tails]

I would just use Doom Builder and use the "Save Map Into" function.

 

[Hyperknux]

ok I'll try that cheers :D

 

[Antiporcupine]

Hokay, I have one now. Is there any way to get the individual files back out of a WAD? I want to do some character sprites, but I really want to start with existing sprites so that my proportions are correct. However, I can't seem to extract the bitmaps (or whatever type of image file) from the WAD. Can anyone help? Thanks.

 

[Rob]

Open up XWE. Go to the sprite/image you want. Go to Entry > Save as. If it tries to save it as a lump file (.lmp), just rename it to .bmp after exporting.

 

[Antiporcupine]

Thanks. Sorry if that was stupid, but I had never even heard of XWE until you said it. I found it and I'm downloading it now. Thanks.

 

[Rob]

Also, there's an XWE beta (Look in my sig's link), that handles lowercase letters.

A friend of mine would like to play SRB2, but he is not allowed to install more games on his pc. I tried to burn everything to cd, but when I tried to start it complained about opening fmod.tmp. I was wondering if there is a way to run from a cd.

 

[Shuffle]

Well, since fmod.tmp has a .tmp extension, I'm guessing it's a temporary file. The computer won't write a temporary file to a CD, I'm sure, so just copy everything from the CD to a folder on the computer.

 

[1-Up]

What I mean is my friend can not install it because he is not allowed to add any more games to his hard disk. Is there a way to go around this? I tried adding fmod.tmp to the burn list, but it did not work.

 

[Shuffle]

Like I said, copy all the files from the CD to the computer. There's no installation required.
